About

I am a retired high school art teacher who now gets to play with clay.
A few years ago I was given a box of unfinished doll heads from a doll maker’s estate sale. I used some of the heads for still-life set ups in the classroom and the rest I placed in my garden. The following Spring,plants were growing from the doll heads.
I decided then that doll heads would make strange and interesting planters .
Each one of my doll head planters has a name and they introduce themselves to the viewer.
I enjoy making hybrids by using a body form from one doll or animal and a different head to create an unusual looking planter.
My planter heads are always evolving and inspirations come to me as I am waking up in the morning.
